I can't find it on the PTC panel to download ANSYS GEOMETRY INTERFACE FOR CREO PARAMETRIC, can anyone tell me if this is part of another license?

MS Santos,

The Ansys Geometry Interface for Creo Parametric is not a PTC product. It is part of the Ansys Mechanical installation and requires a separate license which is part of the Ansys licensing, not the PTC licensing. The feature name in the Ansys license file is "piproe".

Ansys Mechanical provides 2 methods of importing Creo Parametric geometry into the Ansys tools. One requires the installation of Creo Parametric and the piproe license, the other does not require the CAD installation or special licensing. The Ansys web site can explain the differences between the 2 in more detail.

None of this is related to the Creo Ansys Simulate tool.

Regards,

Dan N.
